Fox stood atop a large boulder, which she had scaled after a few failed attempts. She wasn't sure what it was about the thing that made her feel like she should tackle it, but now that she was here, she couldn't deny that she felt
accomplished. Of course, getting on top of a rock was only one of her many accomplishments. She was, once again, the queen of a small horde, and she had a lovely mate to boot. Soon, she would bring children into the world, provided the timing was right and Perry was able to deliver. She smirked at that thought, knowing he would relish when that day came.
Even though Fox had seen Robin in passing (provided Tokio is okay with this...), Fox hadn't made a point to really chat with her sister. A part of her wondered if Robin would just wander off again, but considering she was still around, Fox lifted her head into the air and called for her. Once her voice faded into the trees, the spritely young Redleaf-DiSarinno settled down on the sun-warmed rock and waited to see if Robin showed up.
Fox rolled her eyes at Robin's nickname for her. "If I'm a baby, you're... I don't know, whatever comes before a baby." Not that Fox thought little of her sister. Granted, they hadn't exactly grown up together, but it wasn't like they were strangers, either. More like distant friends. Fox wondered if they would ever be more than that, but she knew things like friendship couldn't exactly be predicted.
The yearling had summoned Robin, so she figured it was best to take the reins of the conversation. "Are you staying this time?" she asked. Fox had joked about hunting Robin down and dragging her back to the creek the last time they'd been around one another, but she left that aside for now. Robin hadn't left yet, but Fox just had a feeling that her sister wasn't going to stay for long.
Fox gave a childish, “Hee hee!” at Robin's reply. Maybe she wasn't as grown up as her sister made her out to be. Instead of sitting down like a proper lady (like Robin was so wonderfully doing), Fox plopped on her butt and began grooming her inner thigh without a single hint of shame. When her sister replied that she hoped to stay, Fox continued for a moment, getting out a particularly difficult clump of mud from her back knee. Then, she looked to her sister and gave her a genuine smile.
“Good,” she replied, “That means you can help me take care of the runts. When I have them, of course.” By gods, Fox would have them one way or another. If Peregrine turned out to be infertile (something she highly doubted could happen between his last litter and this upcoming one), Fox would toss him aside and take somebody else for the job. “You’ll get to be a cool aunt!” Fox said this like it was the greatest thing in the whole wide world.
The two continued talking about the future, though, as usual, Fox was skeptical that Robin would stick around to experience it with her.
